Monodromy representation of graphs
Abstract: It is well-known that every vertex-transitive graph admits a representation as a coset graph. In this paper, we extend this construction by introducing monodromy graphs defined through double cosets. Our main result establishes that every graph is isomorphic to a monodromy graph, providing a new combinatorial framework for graph representation. Moreover, we show that every graph gives rise to an arc-transitive graph through its monodromy representation. Inspired by the monodromy representation of graphs, we denote an algebraic map by where is a stabiliser in . As an application, we prove an enumeration theorem for orientable maps with a given monodromy group. We underscore a fundamental triad in algebraic graph theory: Where there is a graph, there is a group, an arc-transitive graph, and an orientable regular map--each arising canonically from the underlying combinatorial and algebraic structures.
